NIH Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya has announced that the NIH Public Access Policy, originally slated to go into effect on 12/31/25 will now be effective 7/1/25. Read more in his statement: bit.ly/4jTQI4O

Quote included: "Providing speedy public access to NIH-funded results is just one of the ways we are working to earn back the trust of the American people. Trust in science is an essential element in Making America Healthy Again. As such, NIH and its research partners will continue to promote maximum transparency in all that we do."

Today, the Copyright Office released Part 2 of its #AI Report, “Copyright and Artificial Intelligence,” which addresses the copyrightability of outputs created using generative AI. (1/3)

The US Copyright Office has released a new report on the copyrightability of works created using generative AI. For people working with #OER, these bullets from the Executive Summary will be of particular interest:
- Questions of copyrightability and AI can be resolved pursuant to existing law, without the need for legislative change.
- Copyright does not extend to purely AI-generated material, or material where there is insufficient human control over the expressive elements.
- Based on the functioning of current generally available technology, prompts do not alone provide sufficient control.
This reaffirms that the material we create with generative AI is NOT ELIGIBLE for copyright protection, meaning it is in the public domain. Meaning it is OER.
h/t to @cgreen for the pointer to the new report.

New essay - Where #OpenEducation Meets #GenerativeAI: OELMs.
"Over the next several years course materials will likely shift from formats that look more like traditional textbooks toward formats that look more like large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI tools. The shift to these tools, which comes with the risks like those described above, threatens to erode important progress toward affordability, access, and equity made by the open education movement. Understanding that LLMs are course materials can help us think more clearly about what the future of course materials might look like and how and why open continues to be important going forward."

MYTH: I’m too old to donate. Nobody would want my organs.
FACT: There’s no defined cutoff age for donating organs. The decision to use your organs is based on strict medical criteria, not age. Don’t prematurely disqualify yourself. #DonateLife mayocl.in/4fskgET

Dear @CollegeBoard - please have your Higher Ed division contact me. My son is taking the SAT this Saturday (Nov. 2) and his birth year is wrong on his registration. They will not let him in until his birth year is fixed. Your help center is unable to make the change. DM me here.
